Nancy's Notes

To Be Child Like

Open
Trusting
Authentic
Vulnerable
Honest
Dependent on someone greater than ourselves
Acknowledge our dependence on God in prayer - "give us this day our daily bread

To Be Childish - Stage We Go Through

A tight little world centered on "me"
Caught up in drama soap operas of life
Everything that happens - somehow it involves me
Self-centered and reactive
Refuse to take responsibility for my life- always someone else to blame
When hurt, wants to be taken care of
When we allow our need to be rescued and to feel safe to drive our lives
